Whatever your business in
Dublin, stay at My Place, a city centre Hotel offering all the comforts of home
living, great public spaces to relax and enjoy the company of friends, family
and fellow travellers.

The Flora Women’s
Mini-Marathon got underway in Dublin at 2pm with some 40,000 people taking part
in the 10km event. It was won by Siobhan O’Doherty, from Tipperary, who ran it
in about 34 minutes. Traffic restrictions have lifted following the event . There
are delays expected in the vicinity of Phoenix Park due to the final day of
Bloom which finished at 6pm.

Traffic has cleared Cork as
the city’s marathon has finished and restrictions removed but some closures
remain in place. Earlier thousands took part in the event which kicked off on
Patrick Street at 9am and was won by Polish runner Bartosz Mazerski.

As people make their way
home after the bank holiday weekend, Gardai have urged motorists to take extra
care.

On the M9 Dublin to Carlow
Road southbound an overturned tractor and slurry tank have been cleared and the
road surface has been treated. However AA Roadwatch has urged motorists to take
care in the area.

Also this weekend saw a new
world record created in Carrick-on-Shannon, Co Leitrim, for the most amount of
people taking part in Rock the Boat.

Some 1,715 volunteers took
part in the record breaking attempt far surpassing the previous record of 1,435
people. The record attempt was one of the highlights of the Carrick 400
festival to celebrate the town’s 400th anniversary which occurs this year. The
festivities continued last night with a fireworks display over the River
Shannon.
